The global Marxist politician-run U.N. IPCC/WEF octopus of anti-Big Oil leftists is trying to eat the world by weaponizing the fake greenhouse effect. Global warming is good not bad, and more not less CO2 and H20 need to be pumped into the atmosphere to create more living space and food supplies.

A fiery past sheds new light on the future of global climate change
My reply:
[[One of the biggest uncertainties when it comes to predicting the future impacts of climate change is how fast surface temperatures will rise in response to increases in greenhouse gases. Predicting these temperatures is complicated since it involves the calculation of competing warming and cooling effects in the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases trap heat and warm the planet’s surface while aerosol particles in the atmosphere from volcanoes, fires and other combustion cool the planet by blocking sunlight or seeding cloud cover. Understanding how sensitive surface temperature is to each of these effects and how they interact is critical to predicting the future impact of climate change.]]
Telling lies like this should be some kind of global misdemeanor. There are no such things as greenhouse gases, and there can't be because there is no place to "trap heat and warm the planet's surface" in the face of the thermodynamic lapse rate of 18.8F/mi. temperature drop. If there were such a thing as greenhouse gas, it definitely can't be atmospheric CO2, whose radiation absorption/emission wavelength has weak puny 15 micron photons that have a Planck radiation temperature of -80C, which can't melt an ice cube.Yes, aerosols can block sunlight and cool the Earth, but there's nothing humans can do to heat it hotter than the Sun does. The atmosphere just cools it, and can't be turned into a second Sun in the sky by any means except talk.
Meanwhile the global Marxist-run U.N. and its IPCC are turning the world into a madhouse in order to make the hordes of useful idiots they need to destroy the oil industry and soften the West up for a Marxist police state. Be grateful they still don't completely control the Internet, and there's still places to learn the sweet truth based on physics.

The Radiation Fight
https://wattsupwiththat.com/2021/05/28/the-radiation-fight/
My reply:
[[So there you have it. If you don’t think that downwelling LW radiation leaves the earth warmer than it would be if there was no atmosphere, you need to explain the mystery source of the additional energy necessary to keep the earth from freezing]]
Ugh! Yet another example of the fake physics lie that refuses to die.
Let's see: "If on an ongoing basis the surface is only absorbing 150 W/m2 of solar energy and is radiating 395 W/m2 of energy … why isn’t it frozen solid?"
Duh, because energy in the form of photons has wavelength, which has Planck temperature, and the solar photons are at 5500C while the surface photons are in the range of -50C to +50C. And the 150 value is bogus because it is a claimed average over a flattened globe over a whole year, while instantaneous values alone actually exist, and go way higher, to 1000 and higher.
The big killer for CO2 global warming is that out of all the photon wavelengths that Earth's surface radiates, atmospheric CO2 only absorbs and radiates at the wavelength of 15 microns, which has a Planck radiation temperature of -80C, completely outside the surface range. Thus it actually lets all the real surface heat photons pass through it untouched, and any 15 micron radiation it emits will be absorbed and reemitted over and over by other CO2 molecules until entropy harmlessly disperses it.
Speaking of entropy. Another big misunderstanding comes from failure to account for entropy. Planck black body radiation contains the maximum amount of entropy for a given amount of energy, which explains what happens to the energy from 5500C photons after they hit the Earth's surface, and turn into way more puny -50C to +50C photons, namely, dispersal by entropy into the Heat Death of the Universe. The Looney Tunes climate scientists who try to equate the T^4 radiation from the Sun with the T^4 radiation from Earth's surface seem to be missing that the two T values are way different, so raising them to the 4th power makes them even more different. Everything is running down and adding to the Heat Death of the Universe. Heat isn't cheap, it's dear, and only the Sun's radiation heats the Earth's surface, while the atmosphere just cools it, CO2 included, after dispersing more energy via convection.

As the world increasingly becomes a madhouse, it's all the fault of the global Marxist-run U.N. IPCC, which has hijacked physics for political purposes and created the upside-down inside-out backwards phony field of climate science that is nothing but a beehive of lies to justify extreme leftist environmentalism's visceral hatred of the oil industry. Nothing they say can be believed. There is no compromise. One must junk all of it and start over.
My growing body of students studying my free Climate Science 101 course are becoming the first real generation of climate scientists, who one day will replace the current generation of IPCC fake climate scientists. Don't be left behind.

Rocket Science Debunks Climate Change Pseudoscience Published on May 28, 2021 Written by Joseph Postma
https://principia-scientific.com/rocket-science-debunks-climate-change-pseudoscience/
My reply:
[[Why is climate science founded upon adding temperatures together, rather than averaging (or differencing) them as is done in real-world rocketry (and anywhere else in thermodynamics for that matter)?]]
Even fifth graders know the difference between heat and temperature. Heat isn't a quantity, it's a flow. Objects in contact establish a final temperature based on temperature, mass, and heat capacity, not temperature alone.
[[Heat and temperature are two different but closely related concepts. Note that they have different units: temperature typically has units of degrees Celsius (∘C) or Kelvin (K), and heat has units of energy, Joules (J). Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the atoms or molecules in the system. The water molecules in a cup of hot coffee have a higher average kinetic energy than the water molecules in a cup of iced tea, which also means they are moving at a higher velocity. Temperature is also an intensive property, which means that the temperature doesn't change no matter how much of a substance you have (as long as it is all at the same temperature!). This is why chemists can use the melting point to help identify a pure substance − the temperature at which it melts is a property of the substance with no dependence on the mass of a sample."
" We can calculate the heat released or absorbed using the specific heat capacity C), the mass of the substance (m), and the change in temperature (ΔT) in the equation::
q=m×C×ΔT ]]

We're living in a madhouse ever since the global Marxist-run U.N. IPCC hijacked Earth atmospheric science and turned it into "climate science", which is just zany unhinged Looney Tunes leftist environmentalism with science turned upside-down and inside-out to rationalize their visceral hatred of the oil industry. Nothing they teach is true. It's a giant crackpot beehive of lies, and you must throw it all out and start over to really understand Earth's climate. Whatever you do, don't compromise and accept portions as if you're hedging your bets on a dog race.

A glaring example that's missed even by most IPCC critics is their total failure to recognize the huge role entropy plays in messing up their claimed Sun-Earth energy balance that is the lynchpin of their whole scam. Indeed, black body radiation is defined as that containing the largest amount of entropy for a given energy, which shows the utter incompetence of trying to equate the T^4 energy from the Sun with that of the Earth's surface, when the difference in the T^4 terms is the amount of energy dispersed into the Heat Death of the Universe by the black body radiation process, with dispersion meaning that it's forever useless to create heat or do work, i.e., lost, kaput.

That's why I've been offering my cool Climate Science 101 course that teaches pure sweet physics and explodes every IPCC lie. It's real physics so it's hard, but incredibly useful, the basis of a lifetime of doing real climate science. So why not dig in and improve your mind now? You're discounting it because it's free? Would you be more eager if I charged $10,000? If I don't get more action I'm thinking of trying it.

The Greenhouse Effect In A Water World
https://wattsupwiththat.com/2021/05/16/the-greenhouse-effect-in-a-water-world/
Reply:
[[The IPCC and most sceptics believe that a doubling of CO2 in the atmosphere will produce about 1.04 ± 0.1C (Andrews 2012, CMIP5) warming at equilibrium if we assume that there are no feedbacks in the system. This is not controversial.
The IPCC then multiplies this by three to get an after feedback warming of 3.0 ± 1.5C largely due to the amplifying effect of extra water vapour and cloud changes]]
[[There is a transparent window to space at wavelengths approximately between 9 to 16 microns. Long wave radiation in this wavelength range generally passes unrestricted to space through this window. The introduction of CO2 to the atmosphere restricts radiative flow centred around 15 microns. It closes this window slightly. This warms the planet, as shown in Figure 1 but loses all potency by the time CO2 concentrations reach about 600 ppm.]]
Here again we have the IPCC's fake physics hoax that refuses to die, no matter how many times it's slain. Of course 15 microns is the main radiation from dry ice at -78.5C, and can't melt an ice cube. It's actually -80C. Guess what? -80C isn't heat, and can't warm anything in Earth's atmosphere or surface. Instead, the Earth surface temperature range is -50C to +50C, thus all of its radiation goes right through atmospheric CO2 untouched, meaning that it can't have any effect on the climate. This makes the "average CO2 emission height" into meaningless moose hockey. This whole line of thinking is intellectually bankrupt.

What does the IPCC do instead of real climate science? It either pushes video games called computer climate models that bear no relationship to reality and are just hopped-up to output predetermined global warming, or they resort to Communist-style fake statistical measures called Global Avg. Temperatures (GATs) to feed the public to justify their future Five-Year Plans for the Climate when they finally break through to the big bucks, as is about to happen in Biden's U.S.

What is needed is not more junk science articles pushing CO2 equilibrium sensitivity, but a population replacement, a new generation of real climate scientists grounded in real not fake physics who don't owe anything to the corrupt Marxist-run U.N. IPCC. Right now I seem to be the only one, but I'm trying to multiply myself by offering a free online Climate Science 101 course that contains the essence of 50+ years studying physics and thinking about Earth atmospheric science while the IPCC has been busy creating a fake climate science solely to push the CO2 global warming hoax, requiring it to literally turn physics upside-down. Right now if you're interested in not becoming a dodo bird it's time to devote study time to master the course so you can keep up with me and my growing student body. Mea culpa: I was busy doing other things for the last 30 years while the IPCC menace grew unchallenged, and hope I'm not to late to stop massive irreversible damage.

The Thermometer Lies
https://principia-scientific.com/the-thermometer-lies/
My reply:
Another disgraceful article from P-S by Herb Rose, a truly zany Looney Tunes crackpot scientist. I normally ignore them, but this time I made an exception. Let me put my boots on.
[[The temperature the thermometer registers is defined as the mean kinetic energy of the medium being measured, but this is not always true. What the thermometer measures is the momentum of the molecules striking it.]]
A thermometer doesn’t measure the momentum of anything. Momentum is m * v. It measures kinetic energy, which is m * v^2, apples and oranges, but only indirectly.
Actually a thermometer measures heat transfer by establishing thermal equilibrium between its mercury content and the fluid it is immersed in. Mercury in tiny capillaries expands linearly with temperature, permitting a scale to be printed on the outside. This is called calorimetry. The real definition of heat is far more subtle than Rose’s 5th grader definition. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat
“Though not immediately by the definition, but in special kinds of process, quantity of energy transferred as heat can be measured by its effect on the states of interacting bodies. For example, respectively in special circumstances, heat transfer can be measured by the amount of ice melted, or by change in temperature of a body in the surroundings of the system. Such methods are called calorimetry. ”
[[When an object moves it creates a disturbance in the electric and magnet fields surrounding it. The wavelength of this disturbance is determined by the velocity of the object, the greater the velocity of the object the shorter its wavelength and the greater its energy. This is how an object loses energy by radiation.]]
Radiation absorption has nothing to do with it. Only charged particles do that It’s called Liénard–Wiechert potential. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li%C3%A9nard%E2%80%93Wiechert_potential
[[What energy an object absorbs from radiation is determined by the materials it is made from, with different materials absorbing different wavelengths.]]
How lame can you get? All black bodies absorb and emit all wavelengths. Only polar gas molecules absorb and emit in certain wavelength bands. That’s the basis of Earth climate science. I guess Rose wasn’t in class the day they taught that in 5th grade.
I wonder if Rose can even do calculus, or even trigonometry. It doesn’t seem likely. Yet he portrays himself as the next Einstein. Why does P-S disgrace itself by featuring his crackpot articles? The IPCC octopus has long been claiming that P-S is a pseudoscience rag, and it’s playing into their hands despite being right on the CO2 global warming issue. Is P-S falling into the trap of printing every crackpot’s zany Looney Tunes theories just because he says the greenhouse warming theory is wrong?
The IPCC has hijacked Big Science, leaving real science to a motley crew of independents, who ironically are the only people doing real research into the causes of Earth’s climate, CO2 not being one of them. It’s hard enough to be right in the IPCC’s world, but let’s not shoot ourselves in the foot.

Weekly Climate and Energy News Roundup #454
https://wattsupwiththat.com/2021/05/10/weekly-climate-and-energy-news-roundup-453-2/
My reply:
[[Happer understands the field of physics needed to understand how the greenhouse effect keeps the globe warmer than it would be otherwise and the practical limits of warming from increasing CO2. About 20 minutes into the presentation, Happer discusses radiation transmitted by the atmosphere and the importance of greenhouse gases in keeping the earth from freezing deeply at night. The most important greenhouse gas is water vapor (to include clouds), CO2 is secondary. The Earth’s average surface temperature is about 60 F (16 C), without greenhouse gases it would be about 16 F (minus 9 C).
About 24 minutes into the presentation, Happer presents two graphs. One is based on Max Planck’s curve of frequency of the radiation and thermal power to space. The second is based on Karl Schwarzschild’s calculations of the blocking effect of greenhouse gases. (These calculations have been confirmed by decades of observations and experiments.)]]
This is a pack of falsehoods and half-truths. Happer understands the field of physics? Nobody understands the entire field, sorry. The above shows that he doesn't understand Planck's Radiation Law and its deep implications, and has fallen for the crackpot Looney Tunes fake science of the IPCC that literally turns the Earth flat to justify claiming that the Sun can't keep the Earth from freezing. In reality there are no such things as greenhouse gases, and if Happer really knew physics he'd have been fighting this IPCC Big Lie tooth and nail for decades. Instead, he tries to play footsie with it, playing into their hands by dancing with the Devil in the pale moonlight. What a wasted career.
Too bad, too many academics are educated beyond their intelligence, which comes about from starting out narrow and going deeper but never going broad. Climate science is one so-called field where you must start broad first and go deep second or you'll be digging yourself into a hole for life.
Will the horse drink? I wonder if Happer is too proud or too old to relearn climate science with solid scientific principles that cross disciplines? Then here's what he needs,my free online Climate Science 101 course, the result of 50+ years of studying physics while staying outside the academic system and its pressures to stay narrow and never think for oneself.If you persevere and finish the course, you can clearly see how the IPCC has turned climate science upside-down and inside-out for their political goal of foisting global Marxism and refute every one of their lies.

The Cooling Side of Greenhouse Gases
https://wattsupwiththat.com/2021/05/06/the-cooling-side-of-greenhouse-gases/
Reply:
[[Because the bulk of our atmosphere only cools by transferring heat to greenhouse gases, a small percentage of greenhouse gasses creates a “cooling chokepoint”. Consequently, the atmosphere sheds energy more slowly than the solid earth that more quickly loses energy via atmospheric windows. This difference in cooling rates creates a warmer layer of air above the cooler surface air and is called a temperature inversion. Now imagine a world without greenhouse gases. Without greenhouse gases nitrogen, oxygen and argon can’t lose enough heat back to space and the atmosphere would keep warming.]]
Zonk! NONE of the atmosphere cools by transferring heat to so-called greenhouse gases, because there's no such thing as greenhouse gases. The reality is that the atmosphere does just fine removing its daily deposit of solar heat by radiation, convection, and evaporation sans fictional back radiation.
This writer suffers from years of miseducation by the IPCC octopus that is hell-bent on pushing their CO2-driven global warming hoax for political purposes, and is daily closing its grip on trillions, not to change the climate, but to redistribute wealth for their idea of Marxist social-racial justice Robin Hood-style after picking the pockets of millions of useful idiots.
